Welcome[edit]

Hi Shufflee, thanks for sorting out your name change so promptly. I hope you enjoy contributing here, and if I can help in any way please leave a note on my talk page. Happy editing. - Pointillist (talk) 22:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

Hi Shufflee,

I noticed that your User Page was absolutely blank which is why I assumed that you had not registered. Please tell us a bit about yourself - it helps others communicate with you. Martinvl (talk) 17:02, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Martinvl. You sound a bit stern, lighten up a little! What would you like to know about me? I could tell you that I am an indepenent IT consultant, that I tend to live in hotels during the week, that I spend more time on the M25 than I do at home, that I am a keen runner and that my eyes are hazel. Would that help you? Shufflee (talk) 21:09, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shufflee. When you are writing something, you should always know who your audience is. The bits that you have written about yourself tell me one thing - you are (or should be) well aware of British roads and if you ever drive (or crawl :-) ) along the western part of the M25 you can look out for signs that say "Staines" and for signs that say "Staines upon Thames". BTW, I too an am IT consultant currently commuting between Germany and the UK. In the past I have had worked on the Millmead estate in Staines for one client and on the other side of the river for another. Please take a bit of time, look at other people's home pages and do soemthing yourself. Martinvl (talk) 05:00, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I work in Germany too. We have probably stayed in the same hotels, maybe even at the same times! How old are you Martinvl (or is that Martin?)? I haven't been to Staines since they enhanced its name a bit, but I do not deny them the right to call it what they choose. Shufflee (talk) 09:04, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am in Frankfurt where I have an apartment (I am on a long-term contract). My age can be inferred from my User Page. Martinvl (talk) 09:18, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stuttgart and Munich me. Would you call Mumbai Bombay in a road article? Shufflee (talk) 10:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would defer to the practice on the Indian Roads group. (BTW, there are a number of differences between the US and the UK groups regardign junction lists). Martinvl (talk) 11:34, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What UK group, and what do they say about the names of UK places? Shufflee (talk) 11:38, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you visit WP:RJL you will see the following phrase in the section "Tables": "Destinations: Locations and roads as presented on guide signs for the junction." Martinvl (talk) 12:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Editing your Talk[edit]

Hi Shufflee,

I have taken the liberty of tidying up your picture on the M25 Talk page. BTW, it is etiquette not to change somebody else's postings on Talk page unless those changes are made in good faith and the original editor is informed. Martinvl (talk) 12:53, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My knight in shining armour! Thank you. Shufflee (talk) 13:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting[edit]

Hi Shufflee, Please read Wikipedia:Reverting before you do anything more about the 2012 Olympic Marathon Course. Martinvl (talk) 08:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You naughty boy - did you read it before you reverted my changes? Are you sitting there waiting to challenge anything I write, you little monkey you. ;-) Did you read what TJRC wrote there yesterday about the table: "Please discuss on the talk page and reach a consensus prior to reinstating them". Why didn't you do that? Shufflee (talk) 09:02, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

3PP Warning[edit]

I have reinstated the splits table. May I draw to your attention that you have already removed it three times in the last 24 hours. If you remove it again, I will report you under the WP:3RR rule which will probably result in a 24 hour ban. Martinvl (talk) 08:22, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You will report me for reverting your revert? Shufflee (talk) 21:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:DEADHORSE. Martinvl (talk) 04:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't excuse your unacceptable behaviour over this matter. Shufflee (talk) 07:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Martin, can you please explain what that is about. I can't see any "discussion involving you [me]" there. Shufflee (talk) 15:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
